Purpose: Provides detailed technical information about your
computer.
Discussion
MSD allows you to examine technical information about your computer in
two
different formats. You can use the MSD interface or you can create a
report.
Detailed information about your computer`s model and processor, memory,
video
adapter, version of MS-DOS, mouse, other adapters, disk drives, LPT
ports, COM
ports IRQ status, terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) programs and device
drivers
will be provided.
Options
/I - Specifies that MSD not initially detect hardware. This option
should be
used if you are having problems starting MSD or if it is not running
properly.
/F[d:][path]filename - Provides prompts for you to enter your name,
company,
address, country, phone number, and comments, and then creates a complete
MSD
report to the file you specify.
/P[d:][path]filename - Creates a complete MSD report to the file you
specify,
without prompting you for information.
/S[d:][path][filename] - Creates a summary MSD report in the file you
specify,
without prompting you for information. If no parameters are specified,
MSD will
write the report to the screen.
/B - Runs MSD in black and white instead of color. Use this option if
MSD is
not displaying properly in color.
Example
To run MSD and create a report file called INFO.TXT, enter
